what a lot of people don't know is that the God of Christians and Muslims is the one and the same.

Allah is the god of Abraham, who is the god of the jews and christians as well.

The Qur’an identifies Allah as none other than the God to whom Abraham offered “submission” (‘islam) in the episode Jews and Christians know so well from Genesis 22

Right, neither does the prominent Christian dogma...

First Commandment from Deut. 5:

"(8)You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth;"

This is what the Bible says, and this is what the Muslims believe and to which they believe all should adhere. This would eliminate all need for television, movies, paintings of all but anything that is not real and cannot be found on earth, photographs, etc.

So this is just as much a Judeo-Christian commandment as it is Islamic law. But what I really think is happening is people again choosing to see what they want and hear what they want in order to press an agenda. As was stated above, Muslims, Jews, and Christians all pray to the same Godhead, they just tend to disagree on the Messiah. And borders. And diet. And what year it is. And what kind of clothing to wear. And what kind of haircut to have. And....

Personally, I think it's all man-made crap.

God, Allah call him/her what you like but the truth of the matter is this; Why hasn't he/she sent another prophet considering that his/her beloved followers tend to believe that he/she wants to see them at the pearly gates blown to bits? What's all that about?

What miracles? these are fakes. The only unexplained miracle is the holy light that comes out of nowhere in the orthodox pascha in Jerusalem out of Chist's tomb. The light comes out only when the orthodox christian priest does the ceremony.

It is a known fact that every language has one or more terms that are used in reference to God and sometimes to lesser deities.

This is not the case with Allah. Allah is the personal name of the One true God.

Nothing else can be called Allah. The term has no plural or gender. This shows its uniqueness when compared with the word god which can be made plural, gods, or feminine, goddess.

It is interesting to notice that Allah is the personal name of God in Aramaic, the language of Jesus and a sister language of Arabic.

Allah is just another name for the same god of Christianity so get it people denying Allah is denying god.
